interested, all scripts&styles (include themes+plugins) must enqueued only in wp_enqueue_scripts(). in this case – working perfectly, else – can be crash)

This plugin completely broke my site. My server fulfills the requirements but changing any settings of the plugin didn’t help at all but at least after deactivating it everything was back to normal. What a relief. I took a look at the compressed files it genereated and already saw that this would not work without bothering to look into details. Also: I’m pretty sure relying on a cache folder with CHMOD 777 is bad practice.
